DodoLab is an art and design based program that employs experimental and adaptive processes to spark positive change and resiliency. We work collaboratively with a diversity of emergent thinkers/doers to imaginatively and critically repurpose familiar tools of the social sciences, marketing and activism to engage with the public in public. Our focus is the complex relationships between people and their surroundings and how communities define, and are defined by, their environment. DodoLab puts the creative process at the heart of confronting social and environmental challenges.

About : A 12 month schedule decorated with illustrations by Alice Angus who has been experimenting with creating different kinds of books for writing in to use herself, “I like the fact that I can create something physical, then use the computer and internet to make that into a yet another physical object; a book to write in, carry around in my pocket and use, but I can also share that book digitally.”

Alice Angus, co-director of Proboscis, is an artist inspired by rethinking concepts and perceptions of landscape and human relationships to the land. Over the last six years she has been creating a body of art work exploring concepts proximity and remoteness, technology and presence, against the lived experience and local knowledge of a place. In 2003, Alice was the only non-Canadian to participate in the first Artist in the Park residency in Ivvavik National Park in the Northern Yukon, organised by Parks Canada.
About : I initially came up with this idea when brainstorming for usage of the eBooks. The thought book originally started as a personal diary but then transformed into a thought book for both sexes and also different age groups. The design of the thought book is so simple it can be made at home.
I started off by accumulating different phrases, and then getting clipart to accompany the phrases. They then had to be arranged which was fun. I used a software package called Neo Office which allowed me to write text on top or behind pictures/drawings. I then had to create a template with lines in order to create a notepad which I was easily copy and pasted to create a few notepad pages. I am extremely pleased with my thought book and invite you to try and make your own.

About : Cook ‘N’ Colour is an eBook designed to help create bonds between children and adults. This eBook was based on the thought of being able to let children cook easy to do recipes and get creative by colouring in the drawings of the finished dishes. I got the recipes from my own knowledge of the dishes and printed, traced and scanned the images to my own design. Cook ‘N’ Colour is another book that has been added to the set of family eBooks I’ve been working on.

About : This series of eBooks has been created by Karine Dorset as part of her FJF placement at Proboscis. Her brief was to imagine different uses of bookleteer beyond the cultural and education focus that much of what’s been published has followed. These first examples suggest a range of uses for eBooks and bookleteer for families.
Invitations: The first idea was to come up with different eBook usages. My original idea was to produce a simple template so the public could build on, upload items and produce their own invitations. Now it has been designed for any occasion, all you have to do is print off as many copies that is needed, then fill in all the information you desire. Maybe you can add your own personal pictures, very easy and simple to use. I got the cover image from the internet and just simple border patterns to decorate the invites.
Nursery Rhymes: This eBook was created with children in mind. The idea was to bring the old traditional Nursery Rhymes back into this generation, remembered the way they were originally. Taking the rhymes and images from commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page, I cut and stuck, moved around and tried many different ways of presenting this eBook before using computer resources. The final copy was made and designed so it can be in travel pocket size for children to read.
Travel Games: Just like most of the population I like puzzles, numbers or word games like you see in the newspaper or the A4 puzzle books, so my idea was to make a personal eBook out of them, one which you could do traveling anywhere. I made the Word-searches, Cross words and Cryptogram puzzles myself through a puzzle maker on the internet. I used Sudoku and Criss Cross puzzles from copyright free websites. The name ‘Travel Games’ came from brainstorming ideas, then uploaded through bookleteer and made into this eBook.
Colouring Book: The colouring book was designed and created using Neo Office, Open office and Firefox. The idea was to get all types of images from animals, to places, from food to people etc, for children to get creative and colour. It was also designed for travel fun but can be used where ever, whenever. But it’s not just a colouring book, its good a bit more activity. You can fill in the images by numbers allocated to the right colour, or just write about the image that you did colour.

About : The Imagination Age is a broad approach to rethinking systems through a prism of technology, held up to amplify the bright beam of the imagination. Both the Diffusion eBook and the Story Cubes explore The Imagination Age through the perspective outlined by Giles Lane when he commissioned the project: Transformation: How We Become Who We Are. The Story Cubes take shape across three planes of perceived reality:
Physical Reality: First, the 27 cubes were designed on paper, meant to act as a catalyst in the physical world for people to build stories the way children build castles out of blocks. I thought it would be fabulous if people could make the cubes tremendous or tiny to show the significance of each element in the overall scene of the story created anew each time the cubes are approached. In the physical world, the cubes remain stubbornly one size fits all. You can’t make some of them disappear into the ocean while others float in the sky. That can only be accomplished in the virtual world, so that’s where I went next.
Virtual Reality: For several years I have been working in the field of “virtual reality.” In the virtual world Second Life, participants create avatars for themselves and can design and collaborate on any three-dimensional content they can dream up. Second Life is a creative paradise for those with the vision to give dimension to their own previously intangible imaginations and then allow people from all over the world to enhance their created landscapes. To illustrate the installation in Second Life and segue to the third plane of reality, click the link: www.youtube.com/dancinginktv#p/u/2/Y4KwvsTEHKY
Augmented Reality: Lately, my company, Dancing Ink Productions, has been working in the field of “augmented reality,” which goes a step beyond “virtual reality” by changing the fabric of one’s immediate perceptions in the physical world. Reality is becoming a multilayered collage. 26 of the cubes correspond to letters of the Roman alphabet from which stories are told. The 27th cube has no corresponding letter, so instead, it activates the possibility for a whole new realm of understanding through an Augmented Reality marker printed on it. If you have a webcam, you can print this Augmented Reality marker out and activate the webcam at the following site: www.1000inchesinloveland.com to see the 27th cube create a new reality.
